SCAM ARTIST CAUGHT...

DearREADERS,
While I've been busy designing new chat rooms on the web as a home for the ousted AOL Genealogy Forum hosts, I see that Dick Eastman continues reporting the genealogy news in his usual and customary style:

GENEALOGY SCAM OPERATOR ARRESTED!
Life just got more interesting for genealogy scam operator Elias Abodeely. Four weeks ago I wrote a lengthy article about the scam best known as GenSeekers.com and identified the owner as Elias Abodeely of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. You can read that article at http://www.eogn.com/archives/news0327.htm. This week the Cedar Rapids police department arrested Abodeely and charged him with a variety of crimes, including three felonies. If convicted, Elias Abodeely could serve up to 47 years in prison for bilking genealogists.

I recommend subscribing to Dick's Column on a regular basis. Check it out at www.eogn.com . He keeps my in the know!

Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
